    Ecg
    I had an ecg done today for a flight physical... im a little concerned because it was abnormal... it says on 2 of them that I have bradycardia (I was very very relaxed when she did it and I was also sleepy) but it also came back abnormal on all 3 that she printed... it says abnormal t waves... what can cause this... was it because I had been fasting for lab work? I'm very concerned because I don't want to be disqualified from enlistment.. I have made it this far and I'm just a bundle of nerves...

    Athletes in deep relaxation are said to have bradycardia meaning slow heartbeat. You may not be an athlete, but in good physical condition and just happen to have a slow heart rate. Not necessarily anything to worry about. Relax and look forward to whatever you want to do.

    Over the years, I have always found it expediant to ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS when having tests done and not being sure of what is being said.

    I do understand the slow heartbeat part... but what about the abnormal t waves... is that because of the slow heart beat? I'm just very concerned because I don't want to be disqualified from the army...
